Sunflower seed ‘nut’ butter recipe

This is my first post in Cooking4Less Category so I’m really excited about it 🙂 A simple recipe for sweet ‘nut’ butter made of Sunflower Seeds.

Its fast; simple; cheap; healthy and most importantly delicious !

In New Zealand you can only get plain sunflower seed butter in health shops and its crazy expensive in comparison to the price of raw sunflower seeds! The good news is that you can make it yourself in less than 30 minutes:) So, read it; make it and tell me what you think about it 🙂

Recipe:

• 3 cups of raw sunflower seeds (amount depends on how much ‘nut’ butter you want to make)
• 1/4 cup of sesame  seeds ( you can alter the amount to your liking)
• 1/4 cup of maple syrup (optional, you can alter the amount depending on how sweet you want it to be, also if you want add honey or rice syrup instead)
• Pinch of salt (sea salt, Himalayan salt or normal salt- this one is optional as well)

Steps:

1. Roast sunflower seeds on a frying pan and let them cool down. Make sure you stand over it and mix it constantly to avoid burning the seeds.
2. Roast sesame seeds on a frying pan and let them cool down. And again, make sure you stand over it and mix it constantly to avoid burning the seeds.
3. Put roasted sunflower to your food processor and mix until you get buttery texture.
4. Put in a bowl and add maple syrup, sesame seeds and salt and mix it all with a spoon.
5. Enjoy 🙂
